I have taught in the RLAS district since 2011 as a Preschool For All Teacher. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood with a Special Education endorsement in 2009 from Kendall College and an ESL endorsement from Benedictine College in 2013. In 2017 I completed my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction through Concordia University.  I love teaching and working as an Early Childhood teacher. To observe children in play brightens my day as they make connections to learning. Their social development is very important at a young age and I am greatful to be a part of young children's learning and development.  "A great teacher takes a hand, opens up a mind and touches a heart"~ unknown
